I'm realizing that Nephi is AMAZING. His faith was absolutely unshakable. And that is what I want. He wrote:
"If God had commanded me to do all things, I could do them. If he should command me that I should say unto this water, "be thou earth," it should be earth; and if I should say it, it would be done."
I think he has an amazing amount of faith. He knows that God can work through him to accomplish anything, and that faith is what makes us all capable of what we thought was impossible.
Also, the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ and His atonement. That is what it is about. That is what this Gospel is about. I never can quite find words to express what I feel when it comes to my Savior and His sacrifice for me. So hopefully, my testimonies will somehow express what my words do not. I will never stop trying though. I know that my Savior lives and loves me. He died for me, for my sins. For your sins. But not just for our sins. He suffered for us so that we could have comfort in our trials, that we could have company in our moments of pain and so that when no one on earth could possibly understand what we are going through, He can. So that when we have done all that we can do, and suffered all that we must suffer to learn or grow, or simply all that we can handle on our own, He can take our pain, He can give us peace. I know this, with all my heart and mind. I love my Savior and everything that He has done for me. He has made it possible for me to return to my Heavenly Father, who loves me more than anyone else ever can. He has provided me the way back home to everlasting, eternal life and happiness. And I can never say enough about that. But I know this. I know He suffered and died for me and for all of you because He loves us. No matter what. And we can always repent and come back to Him. He is ALWAYS there. I know this because I know that the Book of Mormon is true. And that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this Church is true, that it leads us to Christ, who is the only way to our Heavenly Father, who loves us more than we can ever comprehend and who wants to give us eternal life and happiness. I write this testimony, in the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Love you all. Thanks for following!

Trying to decide between two scriptures for my plaque-1)D&C 68:6-which was one of the first ones I really loved and applies to missionary work for sure. 2) 2nd Kings 6:16...a more obscure reference but possibly my favorite scripture of all time. Read them and tell me what you think?
ReplyDeleteJust for anyone else who may read this, here are the two Scriptures Jillian is referring to:
DeleteDoctrine and Covenants 68:
6 Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come
2 Kings 6:
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
Oh man, that's a tough decision. I really like them both. A lot. I think... If the second one is your favorite, go with it! It's beautiful and I have always loved that scripture too!
P.S. you should write up something cool for this blog. :)
